"Elsie Cross has written the classic on managing diversity. This book provides leaders with a clear sense of what is required to effectively lead a diverse workforce. Unlike most books on the topic, Cross does not shrink from the difficult issues of racism, sexism, and homophobia. She is clear that these oppressive dynamics are the real and pervasive forces that must be understood and eliminated if America's workplaces are to realize their true productive potential. Cross demonstrates with powerful case examples how this can happen in organizations and what is required to succeed. At the heart of her thesis is the message that leadership matters and courage is required. Every leader in America, no matter what sector of the economy or government, must read this book."-David A.
